The e-Government Program 'Yesser' launched the Saudi e-Government achievement award (Enjaz), as a mechanism to encourage, inspire and value government agencies' efforts for advancing eGovernment services.

The award is designed to value efforts made by government agencies to support the keen interest of the kingdom's wise leadership in providing better and more customer friendly services to individuals and businesses.

The award contributes to development and improvement of business processes in government agencies. It provides a platform for acknowledging and for boosting of effective cooperation between government agencies to ensure high quality e-services to citizens, expatriates and business organizations. The award is envisaged as a tool for stimulating innovation and as a means for government agencies to showcase eGovernment improvements and accomplishments. Moreover, it contributes to developing tangible performance improvements of the government agencies, highlights their outstanding achievements and entrench the concept of the "electronic environment" for contributing to the welfare of the Saudi society.

The award objectives include the motivation of government agencies to deliver better and more customer friendly services to individuals.
